The world is moving toward more sustainable construction, which means we need to find eco-friendly substitutes for traditional materials. Steel reinforcement in concrete makes it very strong and long-lasting, but it poses significant environmental and economic problems. Bamboo is a cheap, eco-friendly choice because it grows quickly and can be used repeatedly. However, concerns about how well it holds up structurally have kept it from being used more widely. An examination of the strength and deformation properties of plain and bamboo-reinforced concrete beams was conducted. All beams that feature bamboo strips as reinforcement in the stress zone have been cast, cured in normal conditions for 28, 56, and 90 days, and then tested to failure with three-point loading. The grade of concrete for investigation was M25, with a proportion of cement, sand, and coarse aggregate of 1:1.34:2.5. Plain concrete beam (PCB) and bamboo-reinforced concrete beam (BRCB) with six other specifications and orientations were tested for flexural strength and deformation. It was observed that the split tensile strength follows a nearly linear relationship with compressive strength. This shows that bamboo reinforcement not only increases load capacity, but in some cases, BRCB6 also provides better energy absorption and ductility. The deflection at first crack was more than 100 percent as compared to PCB for BRCB6. It is also observed that the bitumen-coated BRCB shows higher flexural strength than the non-coated BRCB and PCB. BRCB6 exhibits the highest flexural strength compared to other beam designations on all test days.
